After a long wait, we finally bring you chorizo cured in Spain. You will immediately notice the difference between this chorizo and domestic imitations. Palacios, a company based in Logroño, the capital of the La Rioja region, earned permission from the U.S. authorities to export chorizo to the U.S. in 1997, but it wasn't until 2001 that it started entering the country in any significant quantity. Palacios Chorizo does not contain any preservatives or artificial colors-- just pork sausage cured with paprika and garlic. They use a traditional process, using a secret 30-year-old family recipe. Its meat and natural ingredients are carefully selected, creating a smoky, earthy, sweet, and tangy sausage.

Finally, Americans can enjoy one of the true culinary treasures of Spain! Chorizo is excellent in stews, potages, omelets, paellas, or served as part of a tapas. It makes a statement, with a flavor so powerful that it does not influence a dish subtly.

Flavorful and an awesome addition to soups, stir fries, eggs, and a host of other dishes. This is the real deal - as delicious as any chorizo I've eaten in Spain. For the quality and flavor, it's a deal - in either hot (my favorite) or mild (also delicious)

Great find

I bought the mild version hoping that it would closely resemble Portuguese linguiça which I have difficulty finding. This chorizo is very good in family recipes for kale/potato/linguiça soup from the Açores Islands.
